    Hey guys, I've been slowly upgrading my Sager just to keep up with the times. What would you guys recommend for a suitable upgrade from the NVIDIA GeForce 8700GT?
    And how complicated is it to remove/install a GPU in a Sager NP5751/M570RU? (It did say that the GPU was user upgradeable :p )

    Thanks in advance.

    The GTX 280M comes with the revised heatsink so he's getting his money's worth.

    I wasn't replying to any of your posts in this thread. I'm just spilling my thoughts to help his purchase decision.

    Thanks guys. But Damn! That GTX 280M is an expensive girlie. I might have to consider just building a tower for gaming, though I do love my Sager.
